Only thing that has helped me is Advair and emergency inhalers. I get bronchospasms apparently. But I don't have asthma. This has been going on since I was diagnosed with pericarditis in February, 2019. I never had these types of breathing problems at any time in my life.

@helena4000- Good morning. Bronchospasms are scary and awful. I had a bad one trying to get off a very crowded plane. I thought that a lung had collapsed. I couldn't breathe. I had to stop, hold up traffic and take slow breaths. No one was happy getting off the plane. Advair and rescue inhalers are great in helping with breathing constrictions. Have viral infections been ruled out as a cause of your Pericarditis? What other treatments have you had?
